Re: Rocket finished
I spent last night putting the Rocket thru it's paces.I got to tell ya'll,this thing has just a incredible clean tone.Add a little delay and wow,really sick.For the clean to slightly dirty breakup/hendrix kinda chordal vibe,wow +++.I ended up with a different than expected pre-amp tube line up.V1-Br...

Re: Rocket finished
Thought I would add,This amp stays pretty clean all the way to about 1 o'clock on the volume and then starts to breakup after that.This Rocket is no were near as loud as my 2 Express builds.Both of those are fire breathers were this Rocket,to me is more of a killer blues/blues rock machine.On 10 it ...

Rocket finished
Well,I wrapped up my Rocket build.Fired up without a hitch.Sounds really nice.Dead quite,even without a bottom.I used the 9144/8093-1 PT/OT. Voltages were a little bit lower than Ron and Fishy's build.Could be tubes. I'll post voltages later.Couldn't be happier though it sounds excellent.Now I need ...

Re: Trannie question

At this piont i won't be swapping out PT's,the hum is minor.I was just wondering what the causes could be. After I get my Rocket done however,I may purchase a set of Pacifics to put in this Expre...

Trannie question
What causes trannies to hum?On one of my Express builds,the PT hums.Not loud but when you turn it on you can hear the trannie humming with volume at zero.I don't get any Humming noise per se when I crank it but something that has been annoying me.I'm anal that way.
Anyways Thanks Steve

Re: Great Strat tone but way overdriven LP tone....Express poll
I would say I prefer my Strat with my Express.However I also think a Strat is a more versatile guitar than a les paul,at least in my hands.When I plug in my Gold top I turn down the mids from noon to about 10:00.That works for me.This all applies to running the amp at 1:00 or better. Most of the pla...

Re: I need Mallorys
I wonder if the brown Xicon polyester films are the same as the brown Panasonics that are used in the rockets??
I had the Xicons on hand but ordered the Panasonics for my Rocket.
